Thankfully no other person was invoved and injured. <br /><br />Its very common all over in central Europe to have these ditches, trees or even walls along country roads. That is how we love it. <br /><br />For big money you can book in to take part in one of these leasure raĺlys, where you get all accomodation organised, only you have to come from a to b along. these rallys are mainly booked from those mainly elderly people who do not know what to do otherwise with their money, even they are completely overextended by driving an old classic car. <br /><br />One should be wise enough to give up driving, when you are no more capable to drive. <br /><br />I am only sorry about the wrecked Austin-Healey.</div>

As I remember it he stood there rather stunned while we cleared the branches out of the wheel openings, then hopped into the car and took off without much conversation. <br /><br /> <br /><br />Best--Michael Oritt <br /><br /><br />On Wed, Oct 5, 2022 at 10:36 PM Michael Salter via Healeys <healeys@autox.team.net> wrote: <br /><br />"all the roads are surrounded by open drainage ditches." <br /><br />Just like Newfoundland which for me was a major factor in giving up on the Targa there. <br /><br /> <br /><br />M <br /><br />On Wed., Oct. 5, 2022, 1:06 a.m. Alan Seigrist via Healeys, <healeys@autox.team.net> wrote: <br /><br />Italian roads are amazing for driving through beautiful countryside, but they are deadly because all the roads are surrounded by open drainage ditches. <br /><br /><br />On Wed, 5 Oct 2022 at 3:27 AM, Richard Kahn via Healeys <healeys@autox.team.net> wrote: <br /><br />I saw this yesterday.
